Will using a cryo-roller make the skin thinner?

Generally, an ice导仪 (ice conduction device) is a beauty instrument that uses low temperature and electromagnetic waves to deliver active ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin, helping improve skin concerns such as enlarged pores, sagging skin, and dryness. Whether using an ice conduction device will make the skin thinner depends on individual skin conditions. For individuals with sensitive or fragile skin, the skin may become thinner after use; however, for those with healthy skin who use the device correctly, the skin is unlikely to become thinner. The details are as follows:

Sensitive and fragile skin usually already has a compromised barrier function and weaker resistance to external stimuli. The cold stimulation from the ice conduction device may further damage the skin's lipid barrier, reducing its ability to retain moisture and increasing water loss. Prolonged use could lead to drier, more sensitive skin, ultimately causing thinning of the stratum corneum.

For individuals with healthier skin, proper use of the ice conduction device generally does not lead to thinner skin. When used correctly, the device can enhance the absorption of skincare products. The cooling effect temporarily tightens pores and improves the skin's permeability to skincare products. This helps active ingredients in skincare products work more effectively, providing nourishment and hydration to maintain healthy skin.

People with sensitive or fragile skin should exercise extra caution when using an ice conduction device and ideally do so under the guidance of a professional.
